>>61320589Yeah, cooking really isn't as hard as some people seem to think it is. I mean to be fair the perception is kind of between 500 step, all day process shit that stay at home grandmas watching Julia Child made, and beedo youtubers who spend half a video talking about completely irrelevant food science, so I can kind of understand why people are mislead into thinking it's a super difficult skill to learn and master, but there's also a lot of learned helplessness around it. It's just a matter of some very basic knowledge, following a recipe, tasting and adjusting flavors as needed, and paying enough attention so you don't end up burning pancakes and water.
